Quoted By:
A century ago, the great kingdom of Waoricia succumbed to a civil war. The war shows no sign of stopping as the factions fragment and third parties intervene.
Four players compete against each other as they take charge of one of four playable polities and lead their factions to unify Waoricia under their rule. They must command armies, secure finances and logistics, and manipulate NPC polities to their side.
>Gameplay
Each turn a player can perform two actions military and diplomatic.
Military action involves moving an army on the map, conscripting soldiers, pillaging, collecting taxes, sacking cities, assaulting cities, fighting other armies, and donating to charity.
Diplomacy action is about improving relationships with NPC polities, convincing them to perform some action, and bribing enemy generals to defect
Each round the turn order is shuffled, and 3 out of 10 NPC polities are randomly given turns.
>Armies
Armies are commanded either by a ruler, constable, or marshal. And each polity can have three field armies.
Each ruler has a personality that will impact their performance.
Armies are composed of companies (each company represents a unit of 100 men).
There are three types of companies:
knights, starting units with a battle power of 4
sergeants, well-armed men hired from cities, battle power for 2
militia, peasants from villages, battle power of 1
Armies also carry supplies and after every round (season) every unit will consume 1 supply, if the number of supplies is higher than the number of units, some units will desert the army.
>The map
The map is composed out of 30 cities and many villages.
Villages are unfortified sites where present armies can conscript militia or raid.
Cities are fortified sites of wealth, garrison, and supplies. Sergeants can be hired from cities.
In order to win a faction needs to control 16 of 30 cities in order to be recognized as the true ruler of Waoricia.
>Context of the setting
The setting (Waoricia) is one part of my upcoming strategy game (Prince's Fortune) that I occasionally shill on /vst/.
